China's banned long-distance runner Sun Yingjie has passed a random doping test from the IAAF in Beijing.

Sun was tested for the first time since being suspended for two years after a doping scandal at the National Games last October.

Sun tested positive for androsterone after taking silver in the women's 10,000 meters, a day after she won the Beijing marathon and passed a doping test.

The 26-year-old must take three more out-of-competition tests over the next two years, and she will face a lifetime ban if she misses or fails any one.
